The Farmer's Wife Quilt -Along, Discussion Page for Blocks 1 & 2
#201
I've not worked with much of anything but squares.
So when sewing on triangles, how do you line them up to come out right? I know there's little pieces on the ends to cut off, but what do you line up?
I had to rip out block #1 and do it again.

SewHappy, That's a really good idea. I started keeping a list also after writing all the info on where to find each block page for you last night! It is truly difficult to find the exact thing you wanted out of all these pages. A time or two I've tried to go back and have never found what I was looking for. Sometimes I think someone is gaslighting me, or I'm imagining things.

I noticed there was a lot of triangles in this quilt, so I needed to learn how to sew them correctly now.

Hi all, I want to join you in your efforts to make this FWS. I already started a year ago throuhg a LQS as a BOM project. I didn't make all those blocks, but have done a few rows in the top left corner. So I didn't start through numbers, just by row. I think I best start here with number 1 and so on as the numbers are mixed in the quilt. Never could understand why and how! I am working with Civil War fabrics. I just need to know where I can post pictures of my finished blocks although in this group you are not at those numbers yet....

Welcome Marianna! If you go to the main thread for chit chat for the Farmer's Wife quilt, that might be the best place to post your pictures until we catch up with you? We're doing two per week, at least that's the goal!
